Its sad that Rigo has to beg for fights. He'll end up spending the majority of his prime waiting for opponents.

Lol... well i bet at this point rigo would give anyone the hometown advantage.

Get it made, i am just happy to watch Rigo fight, he might be boring but watching someone so good at boxing its really incredible for me.

So sad, as talented as Rigondeaux is, he will never get a multi-million dollar payday, at least not in the US. There is simply no superstar talent at a 122 lbs and Rigondeaux is just too small to move up to face more well known competition.

Rigo would.... but nothing will happen

Rigo best knock this foo out to be safe

[Respect Power]

Framton don't want it with Rigo .. But this is the way Rigo's gonna have to attempt to get fights. OverSeas and off American TV . Sad but TRue!

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Not gonna happen. Frampton has a mandatory shot at Santa Cruz.

Rigondeaux is the greatest defensive/skill boxer I've ever seen. Yes even better then pernell Whitaker and Floyd mayweather Roy jones James tony just to name a few.

[any craic lad?]

Ya gotta feel bad for Rigo easily the best in the division and has to call out other fighters
